THE LONDON UNDERGROUND
In 1843 a road tunnel under the Thames was opened and this led the London solicitor
Charles Pearson to suggest a railway line under the city. The idea was debated by Parliament for
several years and it eventually authorized the construction of 3.75 miles of tunnel between
Farrington Street and Bishop’s Road, Paddington.
Work on the tunnel began in 1860. The technique used to make the tunnel was very simple.
Most of the tunnel followed existing roads and the road surface was dug up so that a tunnel could be
made underneath. The railway lines were installed and the tunnel was then covered and the road
surface laid again. The railway was opened in 1863 and immediately became a great success. In its
first year it carried nearly ten million passengers.
In 1866 work began on another line running from the City to South London. The line was
opened to the public in 1890 and because of the characteristic shape of the tunnels, it became
known as the “Tube”. Because of the depth of the line it was necessary to install lifts for passengers
to reach the trains. Later they were replaced by escalators in many stations.
Since then a number of other lines have been added and the underground system now
covers a large area of central London and the suburbs. The most recent addition is the Jubilee line,
which was opened in 1978.
